Press Release
Newcastle Weed Warriors are volunteers from the community. Weed Warrior projects offer
participants the opportunity to learn about invasive noxious weeds that wreak havoc to our envirnoment, and the opportunity
to experience “hands on” activities in envrionmental stewarship
projects.
The Newcastle Weed Warrior program fosters an increased awareness of local
weed issues by offering weed removal and habitat restoration projects in our public areas, like parks, trails, and open spaces. Native species plants that stabilize the environment after the invasive weeds are removed are used in habitat restoration. In Weed Warrior projects, today’s youth, who
are tomorrow’s natural resource managers and environmental stewards, experience
activities in our community while learning what it means to be an environmental
steward.
The Newcastle Weed Warrior program invites all ages to participate in the projects that develop a sense of
connection to and responsibility for the natural landscape and public areas,
thus empowering community volunteers to help shape the environmental health of their public
places. Weed Warriors encourages everyone to get involved and challenges all members of the community to become part of
the solution to the invasive weed problem.
